Two current pics: George Zimmerman, mortgage underwriter. Trayvon Martin, 17-year old student on 10-day suspension.

The media onslaught has given us impossible images: Trayvon shorter than his mother, even though Trayvon was 6'3''. George Zimmerman in an orange shirt that looks like a prison jumpsuit. The images have made such a strong argument that people are ignoring the facts.

And your adult client, all 250 pounds of him, decided being black in his heighborhood was a crime.
Your fucking client ignored being told not to follow Trayvon, challenged him and shot and brutally killed him.

Your client is quite possibly a murderer. Trayvon would be alive today if your gutless coward of a client didn't hyper-inflate his balls and spine by carrying a 9mm semiautomatic pistol to handle a kid with iced tea and Skittles. Skittles for GODS SAKE!

May we remind rustydog that Trayvon was 6'3'' and George Zimmerman was 5'9''. Trayvon was 140-160 pounds of bone and muscle. Zimmerman was 240 lbs, overweight for his height, and got winded easily.

Will the Trayvon Martin shooting open a dialogue about race relations between Hispanics and Blacks?
This is an issue that has long been just below the surface of American culture, and this tragedy should bring it out of the shadows. George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, shot and killed Trayvon Martin, who is Black. Many people believe that Zimmerman was motivated by racism, and that he should be charged with a hate crime for killing Martin. Relations between Blacks and Hispanics have at times been strained, and things could potentially get worse as the Hispanic population in America continues to grow.
